PINA, Cristina. Manipulation, Censorship and Author's Image in the New Edition of Alejandra Pizarnik's Journals. Valenciana [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.20, pp.25-48. ISSN 2007-2538.  https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i20.315.

The comparison among the 2013 new enlarged edition of Alejandra Pizarnik’s Diarios, the first 2003 edition, and the Pizarnik Papers kept at the Princeton Library discloses, on the one hand, themanipulations practiced by the editor Ana Becciú on the originals when editing the first edition, as well asthe things she excluded in the case of the second one. On the other hand, Pizarnik’s self-censorship is revealed in the fragments she rewrote of the Paris Journals and published while she was still alive. As consequence, we can find different author’s figures and Pizarnik’s oeuvre confirms itself as a constantly changing object. This article analyses in depth the several suppressions and manipulations practiced by the author and her editor, relating them with the consequent transformation of the author’s image.
